DarkHorse posted:Calling them out for being a sensitive snowflake and triggered is another fun one I do that sometimes. But I don't curse to intentionally piss them off or trigger them. It's just a force of habit from growing up near Philadelphia and basically just the natural way I talk. It's just weird that 50 years after George Carlin pointed it out, that the seven dirty words STILL freak them the gently caress out and get them clutching pearls but they cry when people point out that n****r or f***** no longer fly and whine about free speech issues. I'm capable of seeing the difference with those words that are intentionally used to degrade, insult or inflict hurt versus ones that people arbitrarily decided for one reason or another are simply "bad". I removed "r****d" from my vocabulary as well. Because it's MEAN. I TRY to watch my language around people who I know are sensitive to it and also around my kid (with varying degrees of success) but the thing is, not only are these people often up in arms that I occasionally invoke Jesus' name or talk like a Tarantino character, unlike them I'm not talking that way JUST to provoke them. The N, F and R words are all language directly intended to degrade. gently caress, dammit and JC are usually just me expressing frustration at something but they're not slurs. And I don't automatically feel censored or cry about free speech if someone politely asks me to watch my (loving) language.

Nah, because then they know they're part of the "silent majority" and everyone secretly agrees with them but are afraid to say so because it'll upset the Wokes.

While it's not a majority in any sense of the term, a lot of them are taking the fact that Trump got the second most votes of any presidential candidate in history as proof that the Silent Majority is real. Especially since a lot of them think that Biden getting the most is a lie/fraud.

They'd rather die due to being 45 minutes away from any available medical services. Seriously, the absolute vitriol I hear chuds spew about cities is really something to behold. Like they can't even admit that cities have nice things, and if they do they need to make sure you know 2 bad things for every 1 good thing. They for sure have a complex.

I really dislike the “my way of life is better” than anyone else’s. I live in a rural area. It has its benefits and costs but everyone around here thinks it is a better life than anything else in the world. A friend makes a podcasts about businesses in small towns and it is constantly “small town life is so much better than big city life” or they use the phrase “this is real America” regularly. I am guessing there is a counterbalance of people in cities thinking the reverse. I can see good and bad to both places but many people just want to see their lifestyle as the only proper way.

I wonder, because there has to be a non-zero amount, how many people adopt the "my life is the only correct life" mentality as a way to cope with the fact that going somewhere else really isn't a feasible option for them for whatever reason.

Bizarro Kanyon posted:I really dislike the “my way of life is better” than anyone else’s. I mean, people tend to say most of the US is urban as a counterpoint, but treat this like it means everyone is in one of the top 5 or 10 cities. Urban also included millions upon countless millions of people in places of like 50-500k. "Urbans are like this rurals are like this" breaks the gently caress down when you remember that Davenport, Waco, and Boise are urban.

RenegadeStyle1 posted:Yeah Dallas and LA are both urban but I imagine they are both very different lifestyles. I mean, not really except for the state-level fuckery by the Texas GOP. Dallas and Houston are loving enormous, diverse blue cities. NYC and the other eastern cities would be a better contrast since they are older and not as bad for Highway Hell development, but LA is developed for car culture like the TX cities and Atlanta. FWIW Houston and Phoenix are cities 3 and 4 by population, which is another thing I don't think anyone fighting Urban v Rural culture wars realize.

When I was a kid in history class they taught us that the reason the electoral college was created was that the other colonies were worried that Virginia (being the largest colony at the time) would effectively control the country so they used the college to ensure that the other states could "overrule" it in a sense, if need be. I went to school in Virginia so was that just another bit of rewriting history to make things look less racist?

they're providing grant money towards harm reduction, which included "safe smoking kits". Right wing media took this to mean "oh they're giving out crack pipes!" whereas the official response to what's in them was "contain alcohol swabs, lip balm, other materials to promote hygiene and reduce the transmission of diseases like HIV and hepatitis" there's 0 evidence that there was every any intention to give out crack pipes but the truth doesn't matter

The Virginian delegation itself proposed and endorsed the electoral system instead of a popular vote, and it wasn't out of altruism. It wasn't just slavery, though. A popular vote would have given disproportionate influence to any state that expanded the franchise; not just to black people but to white men without property, and maybe even women! The Electoral College was a benefit to any state that wanted to shut part of its population out of voting rights without paying for it in presidential elections.

The beginning of our country was essentially a struggle where Virginia was backed up by the other slave states vs New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, and Virginia won! At least for like 20-30 years. We had a thing called the Era of Good Feelings and it was essentially a one party dictatorship where Virginia folks were in charge.
